Spencer rose to prominence after shouting 'Hail Trump!' and being greeted with Nazi salutes in Washington shortly after Donald Trump's 2016 election victory.
In a statement released on the third anniversary of the deady rally, Biden said:"Three years ago today, the world watched in horror as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and far-right extremists with torches in hand descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, spewing the same anti-Semitic bile that was heard in Hitler's Germany in the 1930s.
"It was a moment of testing for our country, and a wake-up call to the fact that hate never dies—it only hides. And when our leaders give it oxygen, it can come roaring back to life. "And then our president claimed that there were 'very fine people on both sides.' Donald Trump had the audacity to assign moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those who stood against it.
"I knew then that we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. And I knew then that I could not stand by and let Donald Trump destroy the core values of this nation. Now, three years later, we can see even more clearly that everything that has made America, America, is at stake."White nationalist Richard Spencer speaks to select media in his office space on August 14, 2017 in Alexandria, Virginia.
